Mike, some observations about the Woz journey
The payment plan was a good idea, spacing the payments over a year made Woz more accessible.
The wait. JJP customers were content up to the 18 moth mark, then they started to get agitated.
By the time 2 years arrived, many had lost their confidence in Jack. Many people were posting blunt messages about the progress of the game. This was not helped by Jack announcing his next game and expecting people to start paying for game #2 before Woz had shipped
About kit games;
As a non expert, I am happy to screw, bolt, glue, plug and clamp.
What I do not want to do is drill holes.
And thinking about it now, I am not sure I want to install mains voltage electrical stuff
I am surprised that there is that much savings to be had by offering a kit game
Just my 20c
